Marvel's Most Wanted: ABC Order Pilot

A couple of months ago, there was the potential for a spin-off with Agents OF SHIELD regulars Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and husband, Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) and now, a pilot for one is on the way.

Titled Marvel's Most Wanted, the pilot see both Palicki and Blood leading the spin-off. Filming for the pilot will begin during the spring and by May at the upfronts, we'll know whether or not we've got a future series in the show.

Reading some of the reactions online for this news have been interesting. Both Bobbi and Lance are likeable characters who have helped to inject some vigour into the main series, so losing them would definitely feel like a loss. There's also the chance that this show could be seen as a replacement for Agent Carter, which debuts it's second season next week and may not go further than that.

Right now, only a pilot is guarantee but it seems that ABC are committed to producing more shows with Marvel as there's a committed for a comedy series named Damage Control also in the works, along with another yet to be titled show in the pipeline.

My own opinion is that while it would be a loss for Agents Of SHIELD losing both Bobbi and Lance, I could imagine Most Wanted being very much a fun, Mr & Mrs Smith type of show. I could definitely see myself tuning in for it.
